Good Afternoon, and allow me to introduce you to the other members of
the Alpha Bravo Team. How was your flight? No doubt you're
exhausted, and I don't blame you a bit -- that Slovenia debacle was
one for the books. Not that we can ever write about it, of course.

A drink? With pleasure. Scotch, isn't that right? There you go.
Now, we haven't much time. Headquarters has no doubt briefed on the
situation here in Stockholm, so there's no need to go into that right
now. I'd like introduce you to the other members of the team. Solid
people, all of them, ones you'll want at your back in a pinch -- and,
as I'm sure you're well aware, there are likely to be more than a few
of those coming up. C. M. Pilato here is our staff abstractionist.
I'm sure you'll remember him from the Milan fiasco, which certainly
wasn't his fault. Indeed, we would have lost many more agents if it
hadn't been for his quick thinking... But enough about the past.
Pilato knows the ground here like the back of his hand. He has
contacts all over town, even some I've never heard of, and when you're
back's against the wall, you'll be counting on him to provide a
generic access layer to implementation-specific data structures on
short notice.
